2022réf. 209148Washington DC / Princeton NJ: The National Gallery of Art / Princeton University Press 2022. Hardcover. As new. Quarto. Hardcover. Black/blue cloth spine with matte photo illustrated boards. 287 pages : illustrations chiefly colour portraits photographs ; 28 cm. "The Double: Identity and Difference in Art Since 1900 is the first major exhibition to consider how and why artists have employed doubled formats to explore perceptual conceptual and psychological themes. Presenting more than 120 works made between the beginning of the 20th century and today this expansive show is organized in four parts: seeing double; reversal; dilemma structures; and the doubled and divided self. Among major themes artists in the exhibition explore questions of identity and difference--the difference between the original work and a copy the identity of the art with the artist and especially self-identity as defined by our own unconscious by society as well as by race gender sexuality and other forms of differentiation. Spanning the East Building's Atrium and Concourse galleries the exhibition assembles a range of remarkable sculptures paintings videos photographs and works on paper by some 90 artists including Janine Antoni Diane Arbus Alighiero Boetti Mel Bochner Marcel Duchamp Gilbert and George Félix González-Torres Arshile Gorky Renée Green Eva Hesse Roni Horn Graciela Iturbide Joan Jonas Kerry James Marshall Jasper Johns Rashid Johnson Seydou Keïta Sherrie Levine Glenn Ligon Henri Matisse Josiah McElheny Nam June Paik Howardena Pindell Adrian Piper Robert Rauschenberg Frank Stella and Andy Warhol. Related programming performances and a fully illustrated companion book will expand upon the exhibition's themes. The publication is made possible by the generous support of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation Helen Frankenthaler Foundation John F. Wieland Jr. and anonymous donors."-- "From ancient mythology to today's cinema the motif of the double--which repeats duplicates mirrors inverts splits and reenacts--has captured our imaginations. The Double examines this intriguing concept from four perspectives: Seeing Double Reversal Dilemma and the Divided and Doubled Self. Authors James Meyer Julia Bryan-Wilson Tom Gunning W.J.T. Mitchell Hillel Schwartz Shawn Michelle Smith and Andrew Solomon consider the double in terms of ethics psychoanalysis double consciousness the queer double and the doppelgänger in silent cinema."--.

"The unusual background for the author's new novel is two Agricultural Colleges one for men and the other for women. A woman student is missing and a corpse wearing her clothes is discovered but the corpse springs a surprise. The scene changes to a holiday camp and then to an hotel in Italy and after the victim's real identity has been established the murderer has to be tracked down. Dame Beatrice Lestrange Bradley is called in because her pig-farming nephew holds a temporary post at the College." This British author wrote 65 mystery novels featuring her intrepid and eccentric protagonist a consulting psychiatrist to the Home Office "Mrs. Bradley" in the earlier books but re-styled and toned down as "Dame Beatrice" beginning in the mid-1950s over the course of her career which lasted from 1929 until her death in 1983. Once considered one of the "Big Three" of female writers of crime fiction along with Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers she never achieved the same level of international fame because her work was seldom published in the U.S. not even in paperback during her lifetime -- although this particular book is credited on the title page to both its British publisher and the New York-based British Book Centre. Michele Slung writing in the second edition of "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers" calls her "a special taste" and sums up the appeal of her work or for some the lack thereof thusly: "To put it mildly eccentric goings-on are Mitchell's hallmark. And although some critics have felt that her plots suffered from too much attention paid to witchcraft the supernatural and folklore esoterica this proclivity is what gives her work a consistent flavor fine for those who like it and to be avoided by those who don't." Posthumously the entire Mrs. Bradley/Dame Beatrice oeuvre has been published in trade paperback format but even those can be hard to come by a testament to her enduring appeal; many of her first editions however are quite scarce. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .
